The drivers for Atmel at76c50x wireless network chipss in the
Linux 2.6.x kernel and at http://at76c503a.berlios.de/ do not
include the firmware and this firmware needs to be loaded by
the host on most cards using these chips.
This package provides the firmware images which
should be automatically loaded as needed by the hotplug system. It also
provides a small loader utility which can be used to accomplish the
same thing when hotplug is not in use.
